Hello All,
When I purchased my gt premium in may 2015 I would fill up and I got 319 miles till empty. Average miles would say 19.6. Now in November 2016 when I fill up I get 289 sometimes 302 and avg miles is 19.3. What is happening?
Thank you for your help.
Blake

Tire pressure. Winter blend gas. Cold temperature.

0.3 MPG difference is in the noise level ... you can't tell what's happening.

Now if it was a 3 MPG difference, then you might be able to attribute it to something like "tire pressure, winter blend gas, cold temperature" like mentioned above and also driving style.

Range changes every fill up depends on how you drove during last fill up

not to mention with the ethanol blend you could get one that has 5% ethanol and another with 10%. Ethanol has a net 0 energy gain for the gas. With E10 your millage is about 10% less than pure gas. I know I know it kicks butt for octane and making power but it hurts your overall gas millage.
